Notes

Instant Pot French Dip

If you are in a pinch and need to use your instant pot, these instructions should give you the tender result you’re wanting.
  1. Brown Chuck Roast using the sauté function until browned on each side. This adds to the flavor.
  2. Remove Roast and deglaze the instant pot by adding in the beef broth. Use a wooden spoon to get all of the yummy bits off of the bottom of the instant pot.
  3. Add the Beef Roast back into the pot. Pour the French onion soup, rosemary, and garlic to the pot.
  4. Cook on High pressure for 45 minutes. Do a natural release for 25 minutes.
